BACHELORS ARTSCIENCE
ARTSCIENCE This year’s ArtScience Bachelor graduates are a small group, but they could not be more diverse. There is the silence contemplation of June Yu’s research, in which she combines elements of Chinese mythology with her personal ideas into a new, contemplative world — next to the grunting noise of John Sandli and friends, who do energetic live shows on their partly self-built and wildly hilarious instruments. And yet you cannot hear them either, unless you log on to a website with your phone. Then there is Jan Boudestijn with a minimalistic performance in which he creates a paradoxical situation: the more his body gets exhausted, the more it dictates him to move faster. The ultimate sportsman’s psychology made tangible. If there is something that binds these three works, it is that they deal with intensity — in the mind, in expression and in discipline. We wish these new ArtScientists a continued intensity in the development of their careers. Taconis Stolk Head of Department

Jan Jacob Boudestijn jan@boudestijn.eu www.boudestijn.eu The Netherlands Project Een, Twee, Drie, Vier ‘1234’ is a performance, a display, a demonstration of human exertion.
Repetitive movements guided by direct feedback from the body. Moving without any goal or reward. Striving towards failure. Thesis The Pentathlon of the Muses In my thesis I have written about the rise of the modern Olympic movement, focusing on the development of the Olympic Art competitions.
This movement was initiated by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who was determined to resurrect the Olympic Games according to his personal idea of what that meant. He insisted on including Art competitions in this famous sport event. For he said “Deprived of the aura of the Art contests, Olympic Games are only World championships”.

Juntong (June) Yu junefishy@gmail.com China Project All that is around, from all directions The project is inspired by and works in conjunction with my research: a ‘field’ exploration into the land of mysterious beings and figures of
ancient China. Word-pictures are (re)constructed as the visitor’s body moves, bends and get in contact with a composition of objects. Together, they dissolve past into present and virtual into real. Thesis Fox Affairs: Six Cases Of The Fox-Being And Its Relation To Ancient Chinese Culture The fox-being holds a particular place throughout Chinese historical
records and literary/cultural imagination. Sits in-between human and animal, ghosts and deities, it acts as a catalyst for boundary-blending. A travel log is compiled by following the ‘footsteps’ of its existence and attempts to make kinship with its many relations. The journey also reveal other possibilities of technical and scientific thinking through the tracing of a specific cosmogony.
